Any Suggestion For Skin Burn, Muscles Of Hand/fingers Pain After Experienced Electric Shock?

I got shocked when I put something in the bathroom cabinet , I was also with my feet in the bath tub . I felt the shock so strong thru my right hand , some of my fingers, my wrist and up to my elbow. I immediately jumped out the bath tub while I was getting very fast dizzy I really felt so much pain I started crying at the same time while I was screaming . I went to my door and opened it in case I couldn t recover and had the phone handy to call 911 . This was truly a wake up call , this building is falling apart it s so old and so many things needs fixing but the landlord have not invested in this building for over 20 years . I m felling better now but the pain is still there but not as strong which is good . I hope the symptoms go away but in the mean time I m really worried about that bathroom cabinet which has electricity wired thru and some light bulbs on top but I never used them and they have been alway off since I installed another source of light a few years ago . I m afraid to touch this cabinet and I know if I call them they won t fix it . I guess it s time to move . I did have City Of Chicago Inspect this place before it took them about 7 months before they made it here but the landlord got fined for each violation . I have to take the same measures again but I also don t want to have someone else on my conscience when I move out and something happens . For now all I hope that these skin burns and some muscles on my hand and my fingers all heal . Or is there anything else I should do ?
